Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

So many nice men in the world, and then some bad ones did this.

Aside from the astounding negligence of the app team, it wouldn't have been necessary if we had strong communities and supports for people in the first place. No one should be worried about their safety on a date.

Yeah, there are whisper networks but a lot of them are gatekeepy and victim blamey, sadly.

That's one of the worse things about speaking out, people think it's a lie or an exaggeration. Or it gets out, and blowback from that can be worse than the incident.

Yup, we know that all too well.

That's a really interesting point
